The Year of M&M Grand Finale – Be There!

In the beginning (of 2008) two arch-nemeses made a pact to conquer the world that would inevitably become their final battlefield. These titans were known to the masses that came to serve under their respective rules as Matt Wallace and Mur Lafferty, and they called their historic treaty The Year of M&M.

It prevailed.

In 2008 they both saw their debut books published. Matt dropped his premiere short story collection The Next Fix to rave reviews while Mur gave the reading world her novel Playing for Keeps and watched it climb to the top of the Amazon charts.

To mark both occasions, the holiday season, and drive sales to the gates of Valhalla itself, Matt and Mur now present THE YEAR OF M&M: THE GRAND FINALE!

Order BOTH The Next Fix and Playing for Keeps between December 8th and December 15th and not only will you be giving yourself or a loved one the gift of supreme doctrine and epic storytelling, you will be entered in M&M’s Spectacular Holiday Raffle. Prizes include an iPod Nano and a copy of every single title in the Apex Publications catalogue!

Finally, on Monday, December 15th, 5:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time, Matt and Mur are co-hosting a holiday bash on Second Life. The venue is The Tiki Bar in State of Mind. There will be a bull riding contest, bumper boat battles, and live music featuring some of the most popular acts on the internet. Matt and Mur will both be live in avatar form and you’ll want to be ringside as they take flaming swords in hand to vie for control of the universe. Click here for the landmark and be there on the day.

What you MUST DO THIS HOLIDAY SEASON:

  1. Come party with M&M like it’s 2999. Will they duel to virtual death inside a steel cage on Second Life? Will their RL counterparts get blitzed on gin and rum and sing Christmas carols? DON’T MISS THE EXCITING CLIMAX.
  2. Order The Next Fix and Playing for Keeps from Amazon.com and give the gift of fucking-your-shit-up storytelling this holiday season.
  3. Make sure you’re entered into the holiday raffle by e-mailing your Amazon.com receipt (dated between December 8th and December 15th) to thenextfix@gmail.com

Happy Holidays! FEAR THE FINAL BATTLE!

  1. You two had an amazing year. You both rock.

    I hope this doesn’t mean that the rivalry is over!

  3. You had me at:

    “…give the gift of fucking-your-shit-up storytelling this holiday season. “

    awww, I do special order from my local book store, I try to avoid ordering from Amazon.com. Sorry.

  5. Mur Lafferty says:

    Pavlina, Matt and I certainly don’t discriminate against indie bookstores. We use Amazon because our books aren’t widely distributed in brick and mortar. If you can get Matt a receipt from your bookstore saying you bought the books in the window mentioned above, tell him I said you were eligible. And if he argues, remind him I’m going to kick his ass come Jan 1, once the treaty is called off.

    Tell me about it, but I haven’t been in a bookstore yet that won’t special order for you. :)

    Sad to say, I ordered months back, I’m sure I don’t have the receipts but thanks for the gesture.

  8. Brian Mahony says:

    oh btw- i don’t think that the rivalry is over…oh no not by a long shot…i think we’ll have the wonderfully cinematic moment of the vanquished adversary’s hand bursting out of the ground seconds before the screen goes black…or one of you logs out of SL…:D
